A terminal-based Slack client built with Node.js that lets users browse channels, users, and messages and send replies entirely from the command line. It uses keyboard shortcuts (vim-style navigation) and a legacy Slack API token for authentication.

Use cases

  • use slack from the terminal
  • check slack messages without leaving the command line
  • keyboard-only slack client
  • vim-style navigation for slack
  • lightweight slack client for ssh sessions

When to choose

  • you live in the terminal and want Slack without a GUI or browser
  • you want a lightweight, keyboard-driven Slack interface over SSH

When to avoid

  • you need current Slack features like threads, huddles, or blocks - it relies on deprecated legacy API tokens
  • you need a maintained client - the last release was in 2019
